Summary In view of the valorisation of Yorùbá cultural elements in the poetry of the Atlantic Yorùbá poets, it has been observed that the poets often use enormous continental Yorùbá cultural resources in their creative explorations. This is achieved through the retentive agencies of oral traditions, history and instinct employed by the poets to assert their Yorùbá cultural heritage and create a unique identity for themselves amidst the labyrinth of American rainbow cultures. Identity creation and affirmation becomes important to them, considering the conflict of identities or double consciousness that the peculiar multicultural Atlantic space has fostered on the American Yorùbá and other African Diasporas in the New World. To this end, this article examines the preponderance of Yorùbá cultural elements (Yorubaisms) in Nicolás Guillén’s collections: Yoruba from Cuba and Man-making Words to asseverate how his unconscious explores the elements for identity (re)creation, portrayal of transatlantic slavery and propagation of his mulatez integrationist philosophy. The examination is expedient in order to anatomise the cultural configurations of the Americas and identify those unique continental Yorùbá cultural influences there. The article is mainly anchored in Jungian collective unconscious or racial memory to expound peculiar repressed cultural information which finds expression in Guillén’s poems.

尼古拉斯·吉伦诗学中的祖先记忆、仪式档案和约鲁巴教的解剖

总结 鉴于大西洋约鲁巴诗人诗歌中约鲁巴文化元素的价值化,可以观察到诗人在创作探索中经常使用巨大的大陆约鲁巴文化资源。这是通过诗人利用口头传统、历史和本能的保留机构来实现的,以维护他们的约鲁巴文化遗产,并在美国彩虹文化的迷宫中为自己创造独特的身份。考虑到特殊的多元文化大西洋空间在新世界的美国约鲁巴人和其他非洲侨民身上产生的身份冲突或双重意识,身份的创造和肯定对他们来说变得很重要。为此,本文考察了尼古拉斯·吉伦 (Nicolás Guillén) 收藏中约鲁巴文化元素 (Yorubaisms) 的优势:来自古巴的约鲁巴语和人造词来断定他的无意识如何探索身份(再)创造、跨大西洋奴隶制的描绘和他的穆拉特兹融合主义哲学的传播元素。为了剖析美洲的文化结构并确定那里独特的大陆约鲁巴文化影响,该检查是权宜之计。文章主要立足于荣格的集体无意识或种族记忆,阐述在吉伦诗歌中得到表达的特殊压抑的文化信息。为了剖析美洲的文化结构并确定那里独特的大陆约鲁巴文化影响,该检查是权宜之计。文章主要立足于荣格的集体无意识或种族记忆,阐述在吉伦诗歌中得到表达的特殊压抑的文化信息。为了剖析美洲的文化结构并确定那里独特的大陆约鲁巴文化影响,该检查是权宜之计。文章主要立足于荣格的集体无意识或种族记忆,阐述在吉伦诗歌中得到表达的特殊压抑的文化信息。
